Brown
Tuesday was brown. Here's my steamed dumpling with ginger. I love these little guys! You pop them in your mouth and all these lucious juices come a flowin'! I was such a dork taking pictures of my food, but when it's so unusual for you to eat it and to be out at all, let alone out in LA! I mean, I was gonna live it up and had no pride. I know the locals were talking and seeing how wierd I was, so what. It's a pretty dumpling!
Sorry for the short and sporratic posts. I'm actually trying to get things done. But I promise a more thoughtful post hopefully with pictures of progress.
But to bullet a few things:
--We're finishing up little projects like getting rid of ugly light fixtures, painting doors, razoring paint off windows, replacing tacky linoleum (although this is a cool idea too), and cleaning (I haven't washed my floor yet, it's hard to get motivated when it's dirty 5 minutes after).
--I've gotten a commission for a painting and that should pay nicely, now to get motivated to paint again. It's so hard.
--I'm now the one contributing to the thrift stores. I have been making trips every other day to give back to the thrift store. Mostly stuff I didn't get there before. I'd do freecycle, but it's burned me too often. I hate No Shows!
--We ARE going to have a Toyota Previa in 7 days, I am certain. I am also trying to find a good stroller, the umbrella stroller is just driving me crazy! I feel like a homeless person with all there belongings lumped together on the back of this little spindley thing.
--So yeah, our "plan" is for Joel to go to school at Covenant in the fall. How this will work we have no idea. Will we still live here? Will we be able to sell our house before August (miracle!). And most importantly, Joel needs a new source of employment, this is the biggest test of faith yet. I am officially calling us crazy.

love the photo... yum. I am so loving this week of color. so much fun. I could do this every week, I could.
congrats on the commission!
and in regards to the thrift store donations-- seeing as we recently had a yard sale and donated what was left to the local thrift stores, I hear you. honestly, I haven't been able to bring myself to go lately... too afraid I might see something of my own there. isn't that crazy?

Hang in there!
We're job/new career hunting, too. Not fun. Me an' Abraham, we be tight on the faith thing.
I'm curious. Can Joel take grad classes at Cov? or do you mean Cov Sem?
I'm thinking of you lots. Right now, you're a big source of inspiration and encouragement.
